Exhaust & Emissions
What is the Purpose of the Exhaust System?
The exhaust system has three major functions:
- To direct harmful waste gases out of the vehicle.
- To reduce emission in the atmosphere.
- To reduce exhaust noise.
Important Components and Functions in the Exhaust System
- The PCV valve controls the internal pressure in the engine and causes the engine to run rough when not in good condition.
- The catalytic converter reduces the overall exhaust emissions released into the atmosphere.
- The EGR valve reduces the amount of harmful nitrogen oxide released into the atmosphere.
- The oxygen sensor monitors the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust system in order to gauge the fuel mixture.
- The muffler reduces the overall noise of the exhaust.
